Yes well I don't suppose that might be a MEANINGFUL fact??? :-)  I mean
it's not as though VMS traffic is exactly flooding the existing net.
Shouldn't proven interest and traffic precede a new hierarchy?

Actually were I a WCS suzerain I would be willing to carry "vmsnet"
for what it was worth, but would feel sure that the alien hierarchy
will doom the project.  Seceding first is suicide.
